When a new arrival comes to ADANA, usually hungry, dirty and terrified, it has to be put in a pen on its own until the dog's temperament has been assessed and a suitable pen with other dogs is found. Sometimes a dog needs to be on its own because it is unwell or recovering from illness.

A large crowd of ADANA volunteers, members, supporters and the public took over the streets of Estepona on Sunday, 9 April, for their fourth annual Great ADANA Dog Outing. Eleven dogs from the ADANA kennels were walked from the Palacio de Congresos, Estepona, along the Paseo Maritimo as well as many families with their canine companions, many of whom had previously been adopted from ADANA.

For the first time in many years, ADANA was honoured to receive a visit from two members of the ruling Partido Popular party in Estepona, Councillors Susana Casano and Adrian Trujillo, accompanied by a tv crew. The Councillors had come to inspect the renovations they and ADANA had carried out at the perrera.

We are always looking for ways to find new homes for their unwanted and abandoned dogs and ADANA
Volunteer Shellie Outram came up with a new idea for taking our dogs out to meet the public, to add to the opportunity people have of visiting the kennels in the Parque de los Pedregales and seeing the dogs there.

ADANA President, Mary Page, is herself a former teacher and occasionally spends an hour or so at Laude School San Pedro at the invitation of Head of Sixth Form Francisco Marcos talking about her area of specialised knowledge, British politics since 1945. Her last visit however was to talk about ADANA.
